#jQuery One Click Outside

jQuery.oneClickOutside is a lightweight jQuery plugin (1kb) that let's you add a one-time callback for a click outside of an element. After that all event listeners are automatically removed and the plugin instance is destroyed.

##basic use

    $(".some-element").oneClickOutside({callback:function(){
    	$(".some-element").hide();
    }});

If you decide that you want to cancel the callback, use the "off" method:

    $(".some-element").oneClickOutside("off");

If you have some outside elements that should not trigger the callback, define some exceptions:

    $(".some-element").oneClickOutside({callback:function(){
    	$(".some-element").hide();
    },
    exceptions:".exception"
    });

If you are initializing oneClickOutside from a click handler for the same element, you have to tell that to oneClickOutside with a second parameter:

    $(".some-element").oneClickOutside({callback:function(){
    	$(".some-element").hide();
    },
    calledFromClickInsideHandler:true //parameter: calledFromClickInsideHandler
    });

If you want to refer with "this" to the object the callback is a member of from within the callback, use the thisArg option:

	var obj = {
		callback:function(){
    		alert("My name is "+this.name);
    	},
    	name:"Peter"
	};
    $(".some-element").oneClickOutside({callback:obj.callback, thisArg:obj});
